Need help changing a number section in these text files for a game

I have a text file that I am trying to change in notepad++ from “moveLimit”:6 to “moveLimit”:120, I tried the replace method, but all I got was this “moveLimit”:1206 instead and I have like thousands of these little files, they are for the game’s levels.

Did you want to post your regular expression (regex) so we can see where you may have the problem. You can see in most posts that the regex is in red with a shadow background. This is done by typing a ‘grave accent’ character before and after the regex, so like regex. That character is on the same key as a tilde (~) on a qwerty keyboard. That prevents the interpreter window you type in from potentially altering what you type.

Great answer @guy038 ! And of course for any newbies on this forum the definition of a regex is most likely the search string used only when under the ‘extended’ or ‘regular expression’ modes of search , find and replace, using the ‘metacharacter’ options made available. Because that’s where your ‘literal’ example turns into a ‘regex’.

When using the ‘normal’ mode or looking at a very simple string search as in this instance I probably should refrain from using the ‘regex’ word.
